Pécs - Cathedral Precincts

In the northwest corner of the once fortified Old Town of Pécs lie the cathedral precincts with a number of important buildings and historical monuments. Below the cathedral square and in the courtyards of the houses at Apáca utca (formerly Geisler Eta utca) 8 and 14 will be found some graves dating from the 3rd and 4th C AD and numbering among the most important surviving examples of Early Christian culture in Hungary.

Dom tér (Cathedral Square) was laid out in the 19th C. It climbs up to the Cathedral in several steps and its beautiful trees, path-ways and park benches make it a popular rendezvous with both locals and tourists. On the highest point of the square towers the massive Neo-Romanesque Cathedral.
